About Me

Joan Eckard

I make all of my beads (unless otherwise specified) in my little studio in my garage in Mechanicsburg, PA. I use Effetre (Also known as Moretti) Italian glass. They are annealed for durability. I started making beads on April 13^th 1998, and I was hooked. It really seemed like this is what I was meant to be doing.

Here are a few pictures of sample necklaces that I've made with some of my beads:
